Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 11, 1914.

Application filed September 16, 1913. Serial N 0. 790,090.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN B. PEARSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tazewell, in the county of Claiborne and State of Tennessee, have invented new and useful Improvements in Windows, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved sliding window or the like and consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed, the object of the invention being to provide a sliding window with a channel bar at its lower side and in which the lower side of the window is fitted, with the ends of the channel bar projecting beyond opposite sides of the window and supporting rollers for the window mounted in the projecting end of the channel bar, another object being to provide improved stops arranged to be fitted in the window frame and to bear against opposite sides of the window.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is an elevation of the inner side of a window and a frame therefor, constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the same on the plane indicated by the line aa of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional View of the same on the plane indicated by the line b?) of Fig. 1.

For the purposes of this specification a frame 1 is shown in which a sash 2 is mounted to slide horizontally to open or closed position, the window opening in the frame being indicated at 3 and the frame, at one side of the said opening being provided with studs 1, the sash when in open position sliding between the studs on the front and rear sides of the frame and when in closed position being arranged against the vertical side 5 of the frame. The said vertical side 5 of the frame is provided with an opening 6. An apron bar 7 is arranged on the sill of the frame, at the inner side thereof.

The sash 8 is here indicated as of glass of suitable thickness and without a frame. The lower side of the glass is fitted in the channel of a channel bar 9, so that the sides 10 of said channel bar bear against the outer and inner sides of the lower portion of the glass. The length of the channel bar, which is made of suitable sheet or plate metal, is greater than the width or horizontal extent of the window and the ends of said channel bar project beyond opposite sides of the window and in the projecting ends of the channel bar are mounted supporting rollers 11 the axles 12 of which extend through the sides of the channel bar and the lower sides of the said rollers extend below the channel bar and bear on the window sill.

On the inner side of the window frame is a stop 13 which comprises upper and lower members 14 and 15 and a vertically arranged end member 16, each of said members being L-shaped cross sectionally and being made of suitable sheet metal. The apron bar extends a slight distance above the channel bar and the lower inner stop member is secured with its horizontal web on said apron bar and its vertical web bearing directly against the inner side of the glass. The members 14: and 16 of the inner stop are respectively secured to the top and walls 5 of the frame. The opening 6 serves to receive one of the projecting ends of the channel bar to permit the closing of the sash, a roller in the said projecting end of the said channel bar passing through the opening when the sash is moved to closed position.

On the outer side of the window frame is an outer stop 18 which comprises an upper member 19 an end member 20 and a lower member 21 secured respectively in the top, side and bottom of the window frame and bearing against the outer side of the sash. At their meeting ends, the members of both the inner and outer stops are rabbeted so that the said stop members lie in common vertical planes.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

In combination with a window frame, a sash mounted for sliding movement therein and having a channel bar at its bottom, an apron bar on the sill of the window frame,

bearing against the inner side of the ohan- In testimony whereof I aflix my signanel bar and extending thereabove, and stops ture in presence of two witnesses. in the frame and bearing against opposite sides of the sash, the inner stop having a JOHN PEARSON 5 lower member secured on said apron bar Witnesses:

and bearing directly against the inner side G, W. MONTGOMERY, of the sash.
